I love how AOC is ok with people having to ZOOM meet their work or doctor’s appointments - she’s gone on record as saying that it helps reduce carbon emissions which saves the planet - but she took a jet to Glasgow for a conference.

We constantly hear that over 600,000 Americans have died from COVID19.

Agreed on both Gravel Trap and keeping that Iconography of Spa. Names have meaning. IMO, those revered names of track features at Spa and at LaSarthe are there because humans are challenging the track. Engineers and mechanics prepping cars to get every Newton of energy onto the track. Drivers making cm, if not mm,…

Exactly. The Hilton Hotel in midtown Atlanta has a low ceiling in the parking garage as well, basically 6 foot even. Still, there are people in larger SUVs (many with cargo packs on the roof) who must learn the hard way that they need to know the dimensions of their vehicles - especially for DragonCon. It must be sad…

About a month ago, my beloved ‘06 Scion xB (very analog with 253k miles) was skewered like “chicken on a tick” when I accidentally rammed the trailer hitch of a pickup truck in a parking lot. “the Tardis” (dark blue and it’s bigger on the inside than it appears) is now donated to a local vo-tech school for automotive…

I’m actually surprised that CA doesn’t already require a GPS enforced 70 mph speed limiter on all cars. Sure, traffic ticket revenue would decline, but no more harrowing chases.

Still one helluva flight. Most the majority of us will ever do is 32K in an airliner. Well Done and God Speed on your next flight, Mr. Branson.

Thus, running the risk of any Montana buyer being a potential exporter may be deemed as “too much hassle” (as noted in the article). Thanks for the clarification.

It was refreshing to see their actually thoughtful commentaries calling out the BS of various groups. I’ll never forget the “If you wanna make the Indy500 relevant again, ban re-fueling! Make it the endurance race it once was” before they both spoke of the history, with sincere reverence for how long the races were,…

Why doesn’t anyone want talk about the fact that the cars still do more than the speed limit? Especially in CA. They limit the number of rounds in gun magazines but don’t mandate 55/75/whatever speed limiters on autos.

The retractable wing sounds interesting as I’ve only seen one on a McLaren. Watching it raise when the car cornered never stopped being mesmerizing. can’t wait to see one in action on a Porsche.

“Don’t Tread On Me.” It goes both ways. Please explain how this simple philosophy is (as you put it) “so incredibly wrong” and “out of touch”. Also, please be so kind as to elaborate on what your personal, quantifiable definition for “poor”.

It’s hard to quantify what makes someone “poor”. In the 1960s, when many of these programs began, “poor” meant you could not afford food - much less something as luxurious as a TV set. These were intended to be short term programs that gave a ‘hand up’ out of poverty in times of need (such as losing the breadwinner,…

Hell No! One reason I didn’t by from GM was the whole OnStar BS. “Free for 5 years” my ass! That $300+ a year subscription was already included into the overall cost of the car - enough to encourage them to cut corners in quality elsewhere. My Opinion only.

Trust the Owner’s Manual. Most civilian cars do just fine with regular octane gas - and it says so in my 2006 Scion xB. Same with my wife’s 2013 Hyundai Sonata.

Agree on Moss, Graham and Fangio.

Ok, Jezebel, then let’s talk about a Fact about Harris.

Nice response to the first part so I’ll elaborate. The last time I worked weekends, the additional pay took me from a 28% to very low 33% bracket - an tax increase of 18%. Back then we had 10,15, 22, 28, 33 and 35%. Now we have even more brackets 10, 12, 22, 24, 32, 35, 37%. A ten year difference in inflation says $1.2…

“We already do that, with many things.”

Disagree. Laws should be across the board - regardless of socio-economic ‘class’. As the driver of a 15 yr old car with 260K miles, I’m only slightly envious of Porsche/Ferrari drivers. If we can entice people to pay ‘better for the environment’ cars with any tax break, I’m game.
